[Display omitted] •A novel air-assisted carbon sphere combustion process can tune anatase/rutile (A/R).•The A/R TiO2 ratio can be tuned by simply air flow rate.•The synergetic effect of A/R homojunction, high surface area, C and Pt/PtO boosts charge separation.•The achieved A/R photocatalyst exhibit...
